Here’s Britney Spears’ private jet. Notice anything? Britney used to have a Gulfstream IV. Now she’s had to sell it and get a Gulfstream III because people like you chose to download her music for free. The Gulfstream III doesn’t even have a remote control for its surround-sound DVD system. Still think downloading music for free is no big deal?

But seriously, I hope these guys win. It will speed the process in which major record labels and film studios adjust their business model or crash and burn.

if the pirate bay falls the internet as we know it will cease to exist, becoming just another centrally controlled pay per view channel.

i really admire those guys. they have the balls to stand up against a billion dollar industrial complex and yet they trust their goverment and their people enough to be confident that they will have a fair trial and not a witch hunt. and they live in a country where they are innocent until proven guilty, the site still running and not preemptively taken down. you got to hand it to Sweeden they are a true democracy.
